After losing in overtime to the same Palo Alto team in the first round of the Central Coast Section playoffs a year ago, the San Benito girls water polo team enacted some revenge on Tuesday, scoring in the final minute to upset the Vikings 9-8 at Palo Alto High.
The Balers fourth and final non-league game has been canceled, San Benito athletic director Tod Thatcher announced Tuesday. San Benito was supposed to play Los Altos on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
The final score of Friday’s clash with Palo Alto might indicated a 40-23 loss for the San Benito football team, but the second game of the 2012 season was much closer than the final score for the Balers.
For the third-consecutive year the San Benito High football team will face the top public school in the region - Palo Alto - at 6:30 p.m. Friday in Andy Hardin Field.
